Robot Heroes Rodimus Prime

Well, technically it's just Hot Rod with the Matrix, but if you've seen the animated Transformers movie you get the idea. I sliced the hands off Optimus Prime (with Matrix), repainted the Matrix and hands, and glued them onto Hot Rod. Now he and Robot Heroes Galvatron can due battle under Armada Unicron.

Robot Heroes Grimlock [pre-earth mode]

This custom is inspired primarily by Grimlock's appearance in the War Within storyline. In order to make Grimlock in his pre-earth/Cybertronian mode I removed his dinosaur parts (including his dinosaur head, arms, and feet), and added treads and two turrets on his back. I also painted his head completely black. The treads came from a knock-off Constructicon, and the turrets are from Engergon Sharkticon. I decided not to repaint the entire figure, but maybe I will someday. Enjoy!

Robot Heroes Wildrider

Wildrider was one of the first Stunticons to be completed, but the last to be posted. His recipe is at the end of the post.



Recipe

  • Head is from one of the RID Build Team members

  • Hot Rod's body [with modifications]

  • Hot Rod's Arms [with modifications]

  • Doors are taken from a Knockoff Protectobot

Robot Heroes Goldbug

Goldbug, Bumblebee's upgraded form from the original cartoon. His recipe is at the end of the post.

  • Soundwave's arms

  • Bumblebee's body

  • "Hood" is cut from Action Master Blaster's body [he was already sacrificed to make Blaster.

Robot Heroes Blaster

Blaster was one of my first Robot Heroes customs, created long before Hasbro announced an official version. As one of my favorite characters, I knew I had to make him. You will find his recipe at the end of the post.

  • Action Master Blaster head

  • Bumblebee's arms

  • Soundwave's body

Robot Heroes Drag Strip

With the completion of Drag Strip, I now have a complete team of Robot Heroes Stunticons [Wildrider's pics will be posted soon]. My fingers are still crossed for an official Menasor, but I'm content for now. To create Drag Strip, Mirage's body was cut in half and the torso rotated 180 degrees. His recipe is at the end of the post.



Recipe for Drag Strip

  • Jazz's Head [modified]

  • Mirage's Arms [with tires added from a knock-off Drag Strip]

  • Mirage's Body [heavily modified]

Robot Heroes Dead End

The third of my Stunticon customs. Dead End was my first experiment in really reworking an existing mold. Those of you who are familiar with Robot Heroes Jazz will notice that his chest has been flattened, and his doors cut off and glued to his arms. His head was also shaved down.

Robot Heroes Breakdown

With the completion of Breakdown, my Robot Heroes Stunticons are one step closer to completion. His recipe is located at the end of the post.

Update - I've corrected the color of Breakdown's face! Only the first image has been updated.

  • Bumblebee's arms

  • Jazz's body [modified]

  • Doors, chest pieces, and spoiler are all from a knockoff Breakdown

Action Master Devastator

Devastator is a straight repaint of Action Masters Devastator. The goal was to give him a more show-accurate paint job. He is also equipped with Action Master Blaster's gun.

Action Master Bludgeon

Bludgeon is a straight repaint of Action Master Banzai-Tron, with some modifications to his head. Be sure to check out Xevoz Bludgeon, too!

Action Master Alpha Trion

Alpha Trion is a straight repaint of Action Master Skyfall with a bad case of the "leans." The shiny spot on his chest is an Autobot logo that caught too much of the camera's flash.

Robot Heroes Skydive

This one was difficult, and I'm not sure what I think of the result. I'm happy to have a second Aerialbot in my Robot Heroes ranks, but the Seeker mold was required a lot of retooling to pull this off. I'll need to come up with a new game plan before completing the Aerialbot ranks. The recipe is at the end of the post.



Recipe

  • Starscream's head [slightly modified]

  • Jazz's arms

  • Starscream's body [heavily modified]

  • Nosecone was custom sculpted, all wings were cut from original body and reattached

Robot Heroes Silverbolt

The first of my Aerialbots customs. And who better to start with then their leader, Silverbolt. His recipe is located at the end of the post.



Recipe

  • Knockoff Silverbolt head

  • Thundercracker's arms [guns removed]

  • Megatron's body [slightly modified]

  • The wings are cut from Cybertron Ransack's gun

  • The nosecone section is 1 part neck piece from Booster X10 [from the Real Gear Movie line], and 1 part Model Magic, i.e., sculpted
